Each HW (= Home World) has a minimal mineral concentration of 30, it might look the concentration gets lower and eventually drop down to 1 but as long as the planet is inhabited, you'll be mining at that minimum concentration. If you however would abandon your HW and place a fleet of remote miners in orbit they will mine at the concentration that the planet window is showing, which could be below 30.
Now an AR is living in starbases, which means he can remote mine the planets he is living on. IOW they are the only race that can remote each (not necessarily their own) HW at the minimal concentration as long as they have a base in orbit. They can place 100's, 1000's, 10000's of miners in orbit and the planet will never get depleted, endless minerals in huge numbers that's what the mineral fountain is all about.
